Am I going to make a mistake?

Lowering the car and install locks will deter the car being towed/driven away by thieves.
This would not mean the car is safe.

Damage and loss still can occur. There are plenty of smash-grab cases of cars......Gauges, electronic components, ICE and performance parts can still be removed from the car, if the car is broken into. These item aint cheap (if they are ori).
Heck, even TnG ppl wanna curi, right?

So, please be discreet when installing such parts....to prevent unwanted attention.

Yah! Bandar raya force tow away then probably plenty of damage......

TNG still worth, some break in for the coins in the coin box.....

@mdamin38, are you aiming for the clubsport? Just checking to make sure you know what a Clubsport is exactly.

https://myneoclubsport.wordpress.com/about/

Undoubtedly for most motorheads, it's a desirable vehicle. Will you be driving alone most of the time? Driving hard & fast? With a helmet on? 4 point race harness is nice to have but it may be quite uncomfortable for normal driving. Will this be your only car? According to the sale thread, the seller prefers cash. I wonder if getting a loan for the car may be difficult.

Im gonna use the car for daily drive, so no to the clubsport.

Would you rather buy a beat up crappy car instead? Bushidofang is a car nutjob so his Neo is extremely well taken care of. Light mods and easy to handle. No racing clutch this, bone-jarring suspension that, etc. So it's a worthwhile consideration.

Like what bigboss madman said - just do your normal service and you'll be fine. Worst case scenario is you ask for tips from bushidofang himself and he'll tell you how to maintain if at all different from standard maintenance.



Btw guys, I've been thinking. If you truly want a almost theft proof car, should get all those pedal locks, GPS tracking, etc etc then thrown in one more thing - air suspension. Reduce the ride height to nearly touching the floor (1cm off) when parking and I'll bet it'll be damn near impossible to tow away.

Talking about the air suspension, if that thing rosak, then we oso cannot move the car.

EG6 below 40k not reliable? mana ada?!?!!?! there are tonnes of really badass EG Hatches in the 35k range.... 45k EG6 is in K-swap category already (or super heavily modified with uber rare parts B series)...B16A EG6 can get around 32k above now... unless ur really lucky to find one below 30k....usually those below 30k will come with the 1.5 or 1.6 SOHC engines and are mostly auto (in the 25k range).

i am an EG6 owner....and this is my advise to u... GET THE SATRIA NEO.

why? EGs (hatch and sedans) as well as EF n EK are being stolen left right and center now... i barely ever drive my car out because of this.. and even when i do, ill make sure its to somewhere i can park right in front of my face... no line of sight, no parking.

seriously... its THAT bad. dont even take it lightly for a second, coz ur EG6 will be gone in that one second.

Neo also thief magnet, isn't it?.....

agree with madman, for eG and K series engine will be around 45 above for B series stock below 35 u can get it but for sure.

Yes satria neo not to magnetic for thief cause why? underground market r3 part not so famous compare with mitsu part... old satria yes. especially ori GTI...

Nowadays hufcut for evo 3 haaaa really2 expensive...

for me i prefer something RARE in town, Glanza, starlet GT or swift GTi. but to old for you and sure you will be look like "a cowboy born a hundred years too late"

 

[mdamin38]

Also, if pencuri already want to steal your car, there's very little chance that your car will not be stolen or be left undamaged. Because they got nothing to lose, kita je at the end of the day need to keluar duit :hmpf:

Pros and cons loh! Rosak expensive to repair also.....hahaha

Lol .. I know of one guy who chains his cars to the beam

 

[vr2turbo]

Not full proof also....lol

waa...So ganas using chain.

Anyway, chain can be cut using bolt cutter, or grinder.
Hardcore thieves are more "prepared". They even have oxy torch....

Maybe the whole car should be stored in a shipping container. Cannot see, cannot touch the car.

 

[parakey]

Guy owns a hardware shop. So these are really thick chains. Not using just one beam. Also goes around the gate's side concrete structure & around the 2nd car when it's present. Lol .. it's a large enough physical deterrent to all but the wildly desperate. It did foil an attempt once. Not really my cup of tea but to each, their own.

 

[mdamin38]

I think the best solution is to buy a container, weld a steel pipe inside top right hand corner from roof to floor. Park your car in it (fitted with GPS, air suspension etc.), cabut spark plug, chain the car to the steel pipe, close container door, chain the door again with the heavy duty chains, buy a magnetic lift, lift the container.

Because really, what kind of thief yang nak go through all the hassle just to get a car

 

[ken yeang]

Or just drive a super junk car....
Even bangla won't bat an eye when they see it....

Just wondering which part of the car he chained too?

Just like me. Hyundai Sonata III and Chery Tiggo SUV, they no eye see also.....hahhahhahaha

The nice thing about driving a junk car is that ppl tend to give way to you when we celok-celok in the traffic jam.
Dirty, old junk cars tend to give others the impression of "I don't mind the scratch/dent on my car. Do you?"

[lord_nasherz]

i drove a junk car last time. a proton tiara. nobody wants it. sometimes i forgot to lock the car when going outside, but the car is still in one piece when i got back. only kedai besi buruk wants it. they even offer me RM1.5k for the car. not bad for a junk car :P

 

[vr2turbo]

Wait until metal go up in price then only sell, get more for it........hahhahhahaha

 

[ken yeang]

or if your junk car has a single digit plate no...then ppl will pay more than the value of the junk.

 

[kayour]

but remember...one's junk, another's treasure
don't be too confident la
